Profile Projector, also known as an optical comparator, is a high-precision measurement tool used for non-contact inspection of small parts and complex geometries. Designed for use in quality control labs, manufacturing floors, and tool rooms, it projects an enlarged silhouette of a part onto a built-in screen, allowing accurate comparison against tolerances, CAD overlays, or measurement scales.
Key Features:
● High-magnification optics: Typically available in 10×, 20×, 50×, and 100×.
● Bright, distortion-free projection screen with crosshair and overlay grid.
● Built-in digital or analog micrometer stage for precise X/Y measurements.
● Profile and surface illumination for edge clarity and feature inspection.
● Rotating screen for angular measurements (360° protractor with fine vernier).
● Optional digital readout (DRO) for increased accuracy and ease of use.
Applications:
● Dimensional inspection of machined parts, dies, and molded components.
● Measurement of rubber and plastic profiles, O-rings, gaskets, and tools.
● Thread and gear profile analysis.
● Suitable for automotive, aerospace, rubber, electronics, and toolmaking industries.
